Hello to all.  
I use ajax tabs (rails redux)  
[http://actsasflinn.com/Ajax\_Tabs/index.html](http://actsasflinn.com/Ajax_Tabs/index.html).  
I have 2 simple tab (“All” and “Favorites”). As default “All” is  
selected, when I click “Favorites” request is correct and there is the  
render of rjs but I obtain the classic error:

… try { Element.update(“favorites\_pane”, "\n \n \n … and so on…

If I change div and I put it before the div panecontrol1 all is ok.  
Code of loadPane method, tabselect and paneselect is on Flinn blog (I  
change only li element with div element).

* * *

This is the view

- \<%= link\_to\_function('All', "tabselect($('all\_tab')); paneselect($ ('all\_pane'))") %\> 
- \<%= link\_to\_function('Favorites', "loadPane($('favorites\_pane'), '" + url\_for(:action =\> 'favorites') + "'), tabselect($('favorites\_tab')); paneselect($ ('favorites\_pane'))") %\> 

 \<%= render :partial =\> 'forum/forum'%\> 

------------------------------------------------------- This is favorites.js.rjs

page.replace\_html “favorites\_pane”, :partial =\> ‘shared/xxx’

Sorry, I found the solution. Simply I was looking in the wrong place  
(a little break was useful).

Update in the Ajax is the error, change with Ajax.Request in the the  
method reloadPane solves the problem:

```
new Ajax.Request(src,
    {asynchronous:1, evalScripts:true, onLoading:function(request)

```

{pane.innerHTML=waiting\_pane}}  
)
